Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light
Nintendo DS version
Bravely retro, before it was default
The Good
Charming retro vibes from NES/PSX
Old school style Final Fantasy gameplay
Stylish
The UI/UX of the battle system and DS work great together giving a fresh and fun take on the JRPG formula
The Bad
Can get really grindy at times
Pacing isn't the best, it feels too annoying slow at times
While typically great, the battle mechanics that assume they know your target(s) for actions can sometimes not do as you intended, causing frustrations
The Bottom Line
If you like the Bravely Default games, Octopath Traveler series, but missed out on this you owe it to yourself to check it out. If you can get past the stretches of slower paced parts and want a great retro styled JRPG this is worth a look.
